To friends, students, and supporters of Mama Donna Henes,
Our beloved Donna passed away on September 21, the eve of the Fall Equinox.A blessing to so many, Donna’s special ability to access and share the power of spirit is a huge part of her legacy.
For decades Mama Donna led public rituals celebrating equinoxes, solstices and other celestially auspicious occasions. Many remember Donna for leading the annual Halloween Parade in New York City with her Blessing Band. Much of her work focused on helping women find their personal power.
Donna was the proud author of five published books, a CD, and countless articles. She was a spiritual leader who officiated over weddings, funerals, baby blessings and other kinds of ceremonies to see people through significant passages of their lives. And she was, foremost, a teacher who taught so many of us how to find wonder and make meaning in the world around us.
The celestially auspicious occasions she organized and celebrated, her performances with Disband, and a large body of visual work speak to her long standing career as a fine artist, who received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Donna’s public life was complemented by a rich personal life surrounded by loving friends and family, including her partner Daile Kaplan and son Omar.
Auspicious as always, spirit has taken her to a place of discovery and delight. Donna’s free.
Reverence to Her!
A tribute will be planned for a later date in the fall. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Emily’s List https://win.emilyslist.org/a/donate-to-emily

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 19, 2022.
James Edward Hart Jr., 79, of New York; Michigan; and Washington State, passed away on Saturday, January 15, 2022.
While no one wins against Alzheimer’s, Dr. James Hart managed to break the record for charming new friends and making the most of each day, even in the midst of his illness, with his contagious love of life.
James was born in Auburn, NY to the late James and Helen Hart. He was their firstborn son, with brothers, Tom and Joe, and a sister, Kate. A lifelong scholar, James earned his BA from The University of New England, St. Francis College before pursuing graduate programs at Harvard University. James received his PhD at University of Buffalo and taught English Literature and Film to students who hung on to his every word. He did postdoctoral studies in Paris, France. Throughout his academic career, he taught a range of subjects, including Aesthetics, Comparative Religion, Philosophy, and the History of Music at several higher education institutions, including Oakland University, Wayne State University, The Center for Creative Studies, and Baker College.
Beyond his academic pursuits, James championed civil rights, advocating for unions and worker rights. He also gained a reputation as an activist and leader in the arts community in Detroit. Mayor Coleman Young appointed James Deputy Director of MCACA: Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs , where he specialized in grant writing and assisted numerous Detroit-based art galleries, dance studios, and theater companies. He initiated an Artist in the Schools program, employing professional musicians to offer instruction to students in Detroit high schools. He tirelessly supported individual artists and not-for-profit arts organizations to help make their dreams realities. In 2005, he was honored as an “Arts Warrior” by the Wayne County Council of Arts, History and Humanities.
James was a man of ideas — he held numerous interests and passions. He filmed documentaries for UNESCO in Nicaragua. He read and wrote on postmodern critical theory. There was hardly a topic you could bring up he wouldn’t know something about, and if he didn’t, he was eager to learn.
It makes sense, then, that his most prized possessions were his books. 19 floor-to-ceiling bookcases covered the walls of his Detroit home, filled to the brim with books on almost every subject. When not reading (or buying yet more books), you’d find James tinkering in the garage with his vintage BMW motorcycle, perhaps preparing for another long bike trip through northern Michigan and Upstate New York. Often, though, you could find James drumming, a talent fostered from his early elementary school days. He never turned down an opportunity to sit in with local bands, including being a member of The Cat’s Pajamas and Black Hat. Even his illness couldn’t keep him from playing. If he liked you — and he liked most everyone — you’d get a drum roll on the table when you entered the room.
The only thing more important to James than learning and teaching, was his family. In Detroit, James married Lynn Farnsworth and had two children — son James E. Hart, III and daughter Hedda Hart (DeLara). In 1985, he married Lavinia Moyer (Hart) and began co-raising her daughter Jaime Moyer, to whom he was an exceptional stepfather. He took great pride in being a father and, in turn, a grandfather.
He is survived by his loving wife Lavinia, son James Hart III, daughter Hedda Hart (Justin), grandchildren Hayden and Finnegan, stepdaughter Jaime, brothers Thomas Hart (Audrey), Father Joseph Hart, nieces Molly Hart and Erin Hart, as well as a beloved extended family of artists and countless friends.
We want to give very special thanks to the caregivers and administrators at Cascade Park Gardens of Tacoma, Washington who gave James affection, dignity and diligent tender care for his last remarkable journey.
He will be forever remembered for his love of life, his curiosity, and the kindness with which he served others. A memorial service was held in summer 2022 in Detroit, MI.

With Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles Morel
Nicolás invites a group of remarkable Bronxites to co-develop actions embedded in the day-to-day of our beloved borough. The gestures that emerge are presented in private spaces, as well as in the Bronx’s public realm, focusing on the roots that weave these visionaries with specific communities and neighborhoods.
Nicolás dedicates this film to the late Bronx community advocate and activist Martha Watford
This event is being co-presented with support from Historias, a multi-year programmatic initiative led by The Clemente in partnership with LxNY and supported by the Rauschenberg Foundation. Historias celebrates the transformative impact of Latinx communities in NYC through research, artistic interpretations, and public engagement.
The Performing the Bronx chapters have been supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affair in partnership with the City Council and the Bronx Council on the Arts. The Drumming for and with Benny chapter was produced with Casita Maria as part of the South Bronx Culture Trail Festival 2020. Funding for editing this video compilation was provided by the University of Texas at Austin. Performing the Bronx has also received love, space and support from Mothers on the Move, BronxNet TV, The Andrew Freedman Home, and BAAD!

2. Xandra Ibarra, FF Alumn, at Epoch Gallery, Los Angeles, CA, thru Feb. 2, 2025
EPOCH x UCR ARTS in conjunction with PST ART: Art & Science Collide, Los Angeles, CA
September 21, 2024 – February 2, 2025
Purgatorio curated by April Baca, Epoch gallery proudly presents Purgatorio, a group exhibition organized with UCR ARTS as part of the institution’s Getty Pacific Standard Time Art (PST ART) 2024 Art & Science Collide initiative Digital Capture: Southern California and the Pixel-Based Image World. Exhibited as both a virtual exhibition and physical installation, Purgatorio features intergenerational and globally dispersed artists whose artworks have been expanded in a virtual remodeling of the Chet Holifield Federal Building in Laguna Nigel, CA. Designed as a ziggurat by modernist architect William L. Pereira in 1968-71, the building has supported several government agencies since its initial use as an aerospace firm during the Cold War. This has included the U.S. Treasury Department, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Citizenship and Immigration Services, a palatable contradiction given the legacies of the ziggurat as a sacred site intended to serve as a medium between heaven and earth.
The exhibition visualizes the Holifield’s architectural and political contradictions as an incubator for political violence and communal displacement, particularly along the U.S./Mexico border, in an increasingly technologically mediated police state. Purgatorio takes its title from an unfinished poem by the American poet Hart Crane, a writer whose work mirrors the modernist fetishization of Mexico and border landscapes. Disillusioned with the burgeoning technological determinism prolific throughout the early 20th century, Crane conceived of exile from the United States into the borderlands as a type of purgatory – a romanticized (and seemingly uninhabited) space free from the reaches of technology.
The exhibition features work by artists who contend with the violence of the U.S. military-industrial complex, necropolitical surveillance, immigration, and the mutation of culture, identity, and life across borders. Artists include: Colectivo Los Ingrávidos | Lucia Grossberger Morales | Xandra Ibarra | Yazan Khalili | Rurru Mipanochia | Vick Quezada | Marton Robinson | Miguel Ángel Salazar & Carlos Iván Hernández.

3. Dotty Attie, Louise Bourgeois, Nao Bustamante, Nicole Eisenman, El Palomar, Xandra Ibarra, KING COBRA (documented as Doreen Lynette Garner), Carlos Motta, FF Alumns, at ICA LA, CA , Oct. 5, 2024 – Feb. 2, 2025
Scientia Sexualis centers research-driven interventions into raced and gendered assumptions that structure scientific disciplines governing our sense of the sexual body. The artists in this exhibition bring attention to the material, conceptual, and psychic forms of the lab and the clinic as aesthetics that operate across scientific and artistic discourses. The exhibition catalogue will feature new writing by leading interdisciplinary scholars who will map key concepts (sex, race, Indigeneity), materials (instruments, specimens, biomatter), and disciplines (psychiatry, anthropology, reproductive medicine) that the artists engage through their work. Together with the catalogue and related programming, Scientia Sexualis aims to examine and reconfigure the relationship between art and science and, in turn, to create an alternative access point to the history of science where sex, gender, and pleasure are concerned.
Featured artists include: Panteha Abareshi, Dotty Attie, Louise Bourgeois, Nao Bustamante, Andrea Carlson, Demian DinéYazhi’, Nicole Eisenman, El Palomar, dean erdmann, Jes Fan, Nicki Green, Oliver Husain & Kerstin Schroedinger, Xandra Ibarra, KING COBRA (documented as Doreen Lynette Garner), Joseph Liatela, Candice Lin, Carlos Motta, Wangechi Mutu, Young Joon Kwak & Gala Porras-Kim, Cauleen Smith, P. Staff, Joey Terrill, Chris E. Vargas, Millie Wilson, and Geo Wyex.

5. Wanda Raimundi Ortiz, FF Alumn, receives 2024 Pew Arts Grant
Mural Arts Philadelphia
Vamonos pa’l monte (Let’s go to the mountains)
A processional performance created by interdisciplinary artist Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz evokes the culture, ecology, and identity of Puerto Rico as it traverses Philadelphia’s major civic spaces. Amid commemorations of the America’s 250th anniversary, the processional journeys away from Independence Hall and places the predominantly Puerto Rican Norris Square neighborhood as its focus. Raimundi-Ortiz, a first-generation Puerto Rican American, works with curator Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw and Norris Square residents to center the experience of navigating identity between two homelands.

6. Paulette Richards, FF Alumn, Autumn news
Thanks to generous scholarship support I was able to enroll in Dr. Joanne Vizzini’s Certificate in Psychotherapeutic Puppetry program. The Psychotherapeutic Puppetry course included many fun activities that are easy to share with audiences of all ages and abilities. It culminated in a weekend retreat last July where Anastasios Pantelopulos and I produced a crankie
show. Subsequently Dr. Stephen J. Ritz interviewed me about psychotherapeutic
puppetry on his radio program: Public Affairs: On Your Mind – August 6, 2O24
Dr. V. is now accepting a new cohort of students into the program. You can contact her at:
Nobody Died
On August 22nd the “Wonderland Puppet Theater: Visions of the Beloved Community”
opened at the University of Connecticut’s Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry. Dr.
John Bell, Emily Wicks, Anthony Sellito, and the rest of the Ballard staff made the puppets
look glamorous! You can learn more about the Wonderland Puppet Theater here:
https://wonderlandpuppettheater.com/
The weekend of October 25th there will be a symposium focusing on The Wonderland
Puppet Theater in the context of residential segregation, women artists’ work/ life balance,
and children’s media. The sessions will be livestreamed and recorded if you are unable to
attend in person.
In case you can’t make it to Storrs before the exhibit closes on December 15th, a video of the
livestreamed tour is available on Facebook:

It was a joy to close out the summer at Dragon Con. I moderated one panel featuring the work of Chicago-based puppeteer, Sam Lewis, and another conversation with six BIPOC luminaries of the puppetry world including Bakari Prigg, Latoryah Alexander* who performs Kayla on Sesame Street, Jordan Lockhart who puppeteers on the new Fraggle show, Sam Lewis, Raymond Carr, and the legendary Kevin Clash, originator of the Elmo character. It was very inspiring to hear these puppetry stars express their gratitude to parents and early mentors.
*Alexander also stars as Kendra in “Felt the Nation,” an irreverent, Daily Show style newscast: With Kevin Clash

Ann Messner I am very happy to be screening my films from the late 1970’s at Metrograph in New York Lower East Side: Sunday, October 13 @ 2:45.
Over recent decades there have been many invitations to show this work in Europe; but there had remained only the one single showing in New York in 1998 (thank you Dorsky Projects and Nina Felshin). It has always puzzled me why this work could be so supported in Europe but remain unknown here – the city in which the work took place. And thank you Anna Stothart, Ursula Davila-Villa and Miranda Samuels.

Peter d’Agostino’s World-Wide-Walks video program is now available from Electronic Intermix, New York.
Peter d’Agostino: World-Wide-Walks @50 (Selected Installations, 1973-2023)
Video program is now available from Electronic Arts Intermix, New York.
[https://www.eai.org/titles/world-wide-walks-at-50]
This selection features virtual models of ten Walks projects, performed and exhibited internationally from 1973 -2023. They include: The Walk Series,
San Francisco, World-Wide-Walks in Mexico, and related climate change projects in Argentina, Australia, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, South Africa, Spain and the U.S.
Peter d’Agostino’s World-Wide-Walks were initiated as video “documentation- performances” in 1973, evolving into video-web projects during the 1990s, and mobile-locative media installations focusing on climate change during the 2000s. Performed on six continents during the past five decades, the Walks explore elements of natural, cultural and virtual identities: mixed realities of walking through physical environments and virtually surfing the web.
The installations are produced as limited editions for exhibitions – collections. [http://peterdagostino.org/world-wide-walks]
The book, World-Wide-Walks / Peter d’Agostino: Crossing Natural-Cultural-Virtual-Frontiers is distributed by the University of Chicago Press.

19. Warren Lehrer & Judith Sloan, FF Alumns, at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, Oct. 9
New York Vicinity friends: I’ll be a visiting speaker at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, on Wednesday Oct 9th, 4-6pm, an event that is Free and Open to the Public. Guest appearances by Adeena Karasick, Judith Sloan, and Monna Sabouri performing/reading (with me) from New and Recent solo and collaborative Books Jericho’s Daughter, Riveted in the Word, and Ouvert Oeuvre: Openings.
Adeena and I will also be presenting a sneak peek reading (don’t tell anyone) of a new collaborative tabloid-sized newspaper poem titled This Page is an Occupied Territory, hot off the press. So, you can think of this like a launch event. Also, Big Shout Outs to Sharon Horvath who made the images in Jericho’s Daughter, Andrew Griffin who composed the music for Riveted in the Word, and Ricardo Artemio Morales who programmed Riveted. It all takes place in the Pratt Library Alumni Reading Room, presented by the Humanities & Media Studies Dept, the Art of the Book program, and the Library, with an assist from Communications Design. There’ll be a reception with refreshments too.
If you’re coming from outside Pratt (which I’d love you to do, if you can make it), you need to register at this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdtqouNXi4Kagbd2Rb85nVOyAsTKJWUa-YgU7f4AFXyOr-aXQ/viewform
